Around Rome on Day 4

This last blog entry about Rome is a mix of little gems that happened during our last day in the city.

After leaving Villa Borghese, we spent time in beautiful Piazza del Popolo, with its small market, and then along Via del Corso for some window shopping.

Great shops on Via del Corso. Why can't Toronto close Yonge St to cars and let pedestrians take over. It is certainly good for business on this street.
Perhaps the wine at lunch had something to do with it, but Vicki found this small stall in a market very amusing. Joy on the other hand was so totally embarrassed by he parents.

The banks of the Tiber are full of life, even in the evenings
